@kathyjjb Glad if this helps you.Many doctors are not aware of some side effects and this site is valuable as we connect our dots together. I have found an old fashioned product which works for my sinus stuffiness. NasalCrom has been on the market for many years. You have to take one spray each nostril every 4-6 hours and not blow your nose for maybe 15 minutes afterwards. It stops Mast cells from putting out histamines. It is mon steroidal and can be used with other allergy meds if needed. You have to keep it up for it to work but I have found definite benefit! Just keep it in your purse so you have it handy. Maybe keep a second one on the nightstand to remember each morning and night. Also do not use the generic form of azelastine sodium which is over the counter Astepro antihistamine. It has something in it which can make sinusitis worse! Stick to the azelastine sodium if taking an antihistamine nasal spray. We live with these health issues and if we are lucky we learn and pass those ideas on to others.
Keep learning!
